Everyday of our lives our environment categorizes, labels, and numbers us. These social markings made on our existence are at times non-informative, and they never reflect who we are as a person. In this performance we give you an identity number but we do not give you just a number, we make you into live art. You as a person are unique just like an original artwork created by an artist. As you consume this Hors d'oeuvre you will receive your art badge that marks you as a living work of art. As you wear it throughout the event you are a live performer on an art performance that celebrates your personal existence.

•Your art badge is only one portion of an original piece of art that encompasses all badges. While we are all unique individuals, no matter who we are, we nevertheless all share and should celebrate our connected existence. This concept is even more accentuated by the fact that the Hors d'oeuvre you consume is a tiny portion derived from one batch.

•The number given to you in your art badge is a positive adjective. Refer to the alphabet to read it: A = 01 … Z = 26
